Numerical abilities in fish: A methodological review.

abstract：:We trained rats in a context discrimination paradigm by pairing a sucrose solution with lithium chloride in one context (conditioning context) and simple exposure to the same fluid in a second (neutral) context to establish a context-dependent aversion to the conditioned fluid. We then investigated whether transfer of...

However some species present some form of paternal care and, most of the time, this phenomenon is associated with a monogamous mating system. Mice of the genus Mus, such as the...
